Mistral has been consistently last place, or at least last place among ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, and Gemini/Gemma.
I know this because I had to use a permissive license for a side project and I was tortured by how miserably bad Mistral was, and how much better every other LLM was.
Need the best? ChatGPT
Need local stuff? Llama(maybe Gemma)
Need to do barely legal things that break most company's TOS? Mistral... although deepseek probably beats it in 2025.
For people outside Europe, we don't have patriotism for our LLMs, we just use the best. Mistral has barely any usecase.
My only issue is that it cannot handle lots of data. Both Docs and Sheets have caused limitations here. Docs gets unusably slow. Sheets just wont work.
>Libre Office is more than sufficient for most people.
Buddy, I love Fedora, but this is nonsense.
The UI for Libre Powerpoint(or whatever its called) doesnt have text size on the main screen. The reddit mods on the subreddit literally ban people for complaining about it.
>At this point I view Windows as a legacy/compatibility OS
I literally thought about that yesterday as my Windows computer I was using for a legacy application froze/slowdown to the point of unusability. Not the first time this has happened. And nearly every day I have a UI issue with some programs not maximizing and staying behind old windows. I've had embarrassing moments when my OS/MS teams crashes during a meeting. Not to mention the literal ads scattered in multiple screens that sometimes are impossible to turn off(the bottom left button)
My Fedora computer... Every year I have to upgrade it. That sucks. But its way better than anything I deal with on Windows.
FYI, Fedora is so solid that I don't even lump it in with Linux. Linux has baggage from the Debian/Ubuntu fanboys who use a literally outdated OS and have either: No idea its outdated. Or confuse the word "Stable" with bug free, when it means version locked.
If you havent used Fedora, you don't know where the current OS market is at. Fedora stands alone and separate from the rest of the Linux Distros. Its literally better than Windows. It just works.
These kind of comments make me sad because I remember being younger and believing this stuff.
Companies are legal entities, they are amoral. What you are seeing is a leader. I really hope that leader that you believe in, and inspires you to believe and comment such things on HN never fails you.
>If you were to make a Venn diagram of amoral and illegal (including civil malfeasance) have a pretty large overlap.
What is moral about the American Medical Association using Taxes to fund their artificially scarce residency programs which causes consumer prices to go up?
Okay, so that one falls outside the venn diagram.
With lobbyists writing the laws, I'm really wondering if there is as much overlap as you think.
Companies are amoral, they literally can't be otherwise.
I'm not sure where that puts humans in an effort to defend ourselves. We must be moral, we are judged harshly otherwise.
A company uses psychology tricks against its customers(aka Ads/Marketing) making them feel status insecure or a group outsider, totally fine. Actually, those blue bubbles were a great idea, I made sooo much money on stocks. Really feel bad for teenagers though.
Boeing can replace their management and the company continues. These big companies are applauded for being amoral because their stock prices go up.
At the end of the day it seems there is some power sharing agreement between government, corporations, and to a significantly lesser extent workers/consumers. We only judge that latter group on morals.
Maybe we need to collectivize like the Physician Cartel does (American Medical Association), then workers/consumers can collectively be amoral.
